With billions spent on leadership development annually, does it make a difference? Do we really understand how adults learn? Do we still rely on experts downloading their wisdom out of context in fancy hotels in the hope that some kind of value or impact will be realised back in the organisation?I chat to Nick Holley, Director of CRF Learning, global faculty for multiple business schools and voted #5 most influential thinker in HR. Nick has a no-nonsense approach to the issue. He advises, guides and challenges global multi nationals to start to consider how they can deliver leadership development, in context, in time and for the benefit of the organisation as a sustainable entity that provides value to more than just shareholders. If 70% of all work-related learning happens in workplace how can we design and deliver ‘fit for purpose’ development that delivers real measurable value?
